Thank you lovely reviewers, hmm I have decided the pairing for this, and I will not tell you just to help with the surprise although it's probably going to be very obvious haha, er um sorry for no line breaks in the previous chapter I kinda forgot to put them in I guess I was in a rush to post the chapter up but I'm sure it was ok, so anyways I guess on to the disclaimer.
I do not own Naruto although I wish to own it on every falling star. ^_^.
Chapter 5
The birds outside chirped and the sun shined brightly, Sasuke opened his eyes slowly allowing his eyes to adjust to the sudden brightness, he brought up his hand and rubbed his neck with it hoping to somehow get rid of the stiffness that he felt in his neck, he leant his head to the left and right and was rewarded with a 'crack' noise that helped loosen up his muscle's, Sasuke finally realised where he was, after all it wasn't that hard to figure out what with pale white walls, machines and the smell of disinfectant in the air, he was most defiantly in the Hospital and when he looked down he saw the face of a still unconscious blonde.
"Dobe, wake up." but his words were told to deaf ears, or so he thought.
"Dobe wake up" Naruto looked around the room in search of the person who she had thought she heard.
"Sasuke?" she looked around again trying to find him, but it seemed to be just a part of her imagination.
'Strange' thought Naruto out of all the people I know my sub-conscious had used the teme's voice, What was he to me? Naruto silently wondered.
Naruto ignored her thoughts and remembered that she had other thing's she needed to worry about like which weapon she had to choose. Naruto sat down on the floor and went into a meditating position, she closed her eyes and relaxed every muscle in her body, and as Naruto slowly drifted off into a calm composure Kami watched her with a glint in his eye.
"Interesting" Kami whispered to himself.
"Interesting indeed, interesting that she would be led to this room. And such a room. Naruto Uzumaki-Namikaze will be a very strong shinobi, a very strong shinobi indeed" slowly Kami blended into the shadows once again to keep his presence unknown.
Naruto meditated for what seemed like hours when finally she gave up, Naruto opened her eyes and stood up she did the first thing that came to her mind, eni menie minie mo. She did the little rhyme and her finger ended up pointing to the Scythe, Naruto reached out her hand to grab the weapon but it was covered with a transparent glass, shielding it, protecting it, Naruto let her hand press up against the glass and very slowly the room she was in changed, it turned into a place that could only be described as a place of death.
"Hello Naruto" Naruto looked around and only saw a black feathered raven perched on the top of a dead looking tree.
"Who are you?" Naruto called out not talking to anyone in particular, but when she got an answer she was a little bit surprised.
"I am the Guardian of death, the keeper and spirit that lives within the scythe you have come into contact with" the raven bird spoke with an all knowing voice, it gave Naruto goose bumps.
"Why am I here?" The bird cawed, but Naruto could've sworn it sounded more like laughter.
"You silly, silly human. Your here to take the test, I'm supposed to show you what could happen if you choose the Scythe as your life long partner" the bird squawked in amusement.
"Partner?" Naruto tilted her head to the side and looked at the bird in confusion.
"What did you think that a weapon is just a tool to be used, every tool holds a small piece of your soul, in every Kunai, Shuriken and Senbon you use." the Raven fluffed up his feathers and beat his wings in rage.
"I'm sorry" Naruto bowed respectfully.
"It is fine, I shouldn't of expected anything else from a mere human." Naruto took it as an insult naturally but for once in her life she was going to keep quiet about it, although her eye twitched and the raven didn't fail to notice it.
"Well shall we get on with it you only have a limited time in this world before you have to go and met the other two" 'the other two' Naruto questioned herself, but she remembered the other weapons and they must have spirits in them as well Naruto concluded.
Naruto kept her eyes forwards and followed the Raven through a dead looking forest that held things the Naruto rather not know about.
(Time Skip)
Naruto felt creep-ed out when they stopped in the middle of a graveyard, she was literally shaking, it didn't help that it felt colder than any where than she'd ever be.
The Raven looked back at Naruto with a scowl on his face if that was possible.
"Hurry up Human we don't have much time until you fade away from this world" Naruto nodded her head and she ran while the bird flew, she followed just like before.
Several minutes later and Naruto ended up outside of a cave, hesitantly she followed the squawking bird inside and sat down in front of what looked like a sanctuary. Naruto looked behind her to try and find the bird but when she looked he was no where to be found, franticly she searched for the missing bird but instead she got a devilishly handsome teenager, who looked about the same age as her maybe older by a few years. He had pitch black hair, that was in a messy style which surprisingly framed his pale face, 'if it wasn't for his amber coloured eyes he would've looked like an Uchiha' Naruto observed.
"Who are you?" Naruto asked for the second time.
"Uh you don't recognize me I would think not, I have many names but the one I like to go by is the one my father gave me Kohaku, I am the Raven spirit that you met before" Kohaku sat down on a chair that Naruto hadn't bothered to notice, she closed her eyes and breathed in slowly not believing that this was happening to her.
"So can you tell me or show me what the hell your supposed to do" Naruto yelled she'd kept quiet for way to long, and it was finally catching up on her.
"Uh yes the test" Kohaku yawned and slumped back into his chair, and stared a Naruto with a blank expression.
"Well you've already passed the test" Naruto stared, and stared.
"You've got to be kidding me right."
"No, I was secretly testing you it pleases me to see the shocked faces of my victims, but yes you've successfully passed, congratulations." Kohaku said the last word using sarcasm.
"What exactly did I do?"
"You crossed the underworld but of course, without being attacked very rare indeed" Naruto's eye started to twitch, the twitch grew and grew until she exploded.
"YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT I COULD HAVE DIED!"
"Yeah" Kohaku had that annoyingly familiar smug look on his face, the one she'd seen countless of times.
"I HATE YOU"
"Love you too" Kohaku replied sarcastically.
"Just zap me to the next weapon" Naruto replied in a defeated and weary voice.
"I don't know about zapping you but you can go through that portal over there" a portal suddenly appeared in the middle of the cave and Naruto stepped through, she was ready this time.
